Qt TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONOERN: y

Be it known that we, BENJAMIN K. DORWART and GEORGE F. ROTE, Jr., ofLancaster, in the county of Lancaster, and in the State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new andl useful improvements in Fences; and dohereby declare that the following isa full, lclear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of referencemarked thereon. In the annexed drawings,making part of this speciiication-- A A represent the pannels of aportable fence, which may be 'constructed in an()7 of' the knownr andusual lays, as there is nothing peculiar in the pannels themselves. Thepannels, after being. connectedv together in anlnown way, are supportedby means of the pivoted braces B B. These braces can be pivoted to thepannels themselves, or to blocks which pass through and connect thepannels, or to the posts of thefence, where posts are used. C representsone of the fence posts with the braces pivoted to it at its upper end.The lower ends of the braces may be secured in any suitableway to theearth. These braces may be turned up and out of the wayin ploughing orcutting, or cultivating or ditching, close to the fence, and thenreturned to their places again when the Work is finished. v

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Thebraces B B pivoted at their upper ends tothe blocks which connect thepannels or to the posts, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing We have hereunto set our handsthis 31st day of October, 1867. l
